There is something to be said about objects that can make you remember the the style and grace of years past.

As you can already tell, I'm a fan of the newly announced Profoto B10 light. For years I've been looking for something that is more powerful than a small hot shoe flash.

Fujifilm has an excellent reputation with their lenses, and overall their price to performance among other brand name lenses is up there with the best of them. they are so good, in fact, that many times there seems to be no reason to even purchase third-party lenses because the price to performance ratio won't be much, if any, better. thephoblographer.com »

Let me get this right out of the way, the 7Artisans 35mm f2 lens isn't as good as Leica's. You're getting better sharpness, detail, and bokeh in pretty much every way and at every aperture.
